A new facility at the Edward Hospital Cancer Center has a tie to
a sweet sports legend the organization recently announced the opening of the Walter
Payton liver center outreach clinic devoted to testing and treating patients with
liver cancer or other types of liver disease the clinic was named for the Chicago
Bears star of the same name who died of liver disease and cancer in one thousand
nine hundred ninety nine for some people it's really kind of hard to make that
drive back and forth to the city of Chicago if you live in some northwest suburbs
of herbs so you know what this is a wonderful collaboration in
a partnership to work together the patients will be under the care of Dr Sean cope
director of Hepatology at the University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences
system the one service that won't be available in the suburbs is liver transplants
which are only being done at the Walter Payton Center in Chicago.
